DO NOT STAY HERE
This was the most disgusting place we have ever stayed and it should not be be allowed to be listed on Stayz or any other platform. The sheets and towels had not been cleaned - they were visibly dirty and the towels literally smelt like vomit. The ‘4th bed’ was a dirty sofa bed that had holes in it. Inadequate toliet paper was provided. There was 4 of us staying for 3 nights and we were only given 1 roll. The airconditioning vents looked like they had not been cleaned in years which resulted in us getting sick. Additional issues: stove top doesn’t work, power sockets in living room don’t work, toliet seat is broken, shower has 3 minutes of hot water, light switches fell off as you touched them. The manager of this property did nothing to resolve any of these issues during our stay. We are leaving this place feeling sick, tired and disgusted by the living conditions of this appartment. Do not stay here

Great apartment
We really enjoyed the apartment. Maria was a great hostess and provided answers to all my questions within a reasonable amount of time. The property was clean and well stocked. There was a clean pool located on the property and a few restaurants right down below. Locaton was good. 10 minute walk to the strip and about 10 to the beautiful beach. The beds were comfortable and was just right for us. The only negatives were that toilet paper wasn’t supplied which other VRBO’s usually have and a smell coming from the drain in the bathroom. It did not wreck our vacation at all, it just wasn’t great.

Great location, great facilities and amazing host
Initially we did struggle to find the apartment as the pictures can be a little misleading. For any future guests, look for JoJo’s sandwich bar and head into the apartments behind it. The rooms were so clean and the facilities were great and very modern. The sofa bed was easy to put up and very comfy. The location is great as it’s right near the strip and there’s lots of food places nearby. It’s approximately a 10 minute uber to Old Town but ubers are so.cheap we didn’t mind! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot fault the host nor the room one bit!

Ideal location for short break.
Great little apartment 5 minutes from the strip and 15 minutes from the Old Town. The apartment would benefit from better pillows on the bed. A bowl in the kitchen to wash dishes and a plug in the sink in the bathroom to be able to shave trivial bits but makes life easier and more comfortable. As a base for a short stay though the place is ideal with a good sized pool and comfy sun loungers.

Tolles Appartement und super Gastgeberin
Das Appartmenent von Maria ist sehr schön und Maria als Gastgeberin ist super hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und freundlich. Die Lage ist auch toll, da man alles zu Fuß erreichen kann. Die Appartementanlage war allerdings sehr stark von Gruppen englischer und niederländischer Jugendlichen bewohnt und daher nachts bis morgens sehr laut. Ist aber wohl nur im Juli so der Fall. Albufeira als Ort ist grundsätzlich sehr stark von englischen Touristen besucht…alles in allem aber alles wirklich empfehlenswert!

We had a great time staying here
The property was in an ideal location as it was just round the corner from the strip and only cost about €4 in an Uber or €10 in a tuk tuk to the Old town. The apartment was the perfect size for me and my 2 friends. Most things were clean and the room was presentable. However, we did have trouble with the address on Apple and Google maps and we struggled to work the AC. Apart from this we would definitely visit again and the host was friendly and extremely easy to contact. Thank you :)

Un piso estupendo
Estuvimos solo una noche y no pudimos disfrutar de él como se merecía. Es un piso muy completo, limpio, nuevo, con una pequeña terraza que da a la parte trasera (donde, por cierto, puedes aparcar). La propietaria es encantadora y estuvo pendiente de nosotros en todo momento. Repetiremos sin duda si volvemos por la zona.

Aseo deficiente. El internet se caía constantemente. Se tuvo que comprar papel higiénico porque no se contaba con repuesto. El aire acondicionado del cuarto principal no enfriaba, y aunque se le informó al anfitrión, no solucionaron el problema. Lo más grave fuel el olor fétido del baño, al parecer por un daño en el edificio, que el anfitrión conocía y no se nos informó

Great location & Good value
The apartment is 5 minutes walk to the bottom of the strip and the top of the hill to Oura beach. It’s a 20 minute walk to the old town. It is in a quiet relaxing complex with a lovely pool area. Everything is close by. Pleased to see essentials like washing up liquid, a sponge, hand wash, washing powder and salt & pepper. Although the small balcony is in the shade all day there is a terrace area outside the front door which has sun should you wish to relax there. Communication with the host Maria was very good via WhatsApp and calls.
